Honeyholm Farm

Exiting the second temple brings the player back to Seren, and back onto the road.

The first section of road is simple and quiet. Follow the orbs and pick up as many as you can. Shards has some nice upgrades, so the more experience you find, the better. After a few minutes on the road, Gabriel will come across a stranded woman. After picking her up, you will continue along the road for another few minutes without hassle. Remember that the edges are still dangerous, you're up high and on the edges of cliffs, so try to stay in the center of the road when possible.

Eventually the group will encounter Hobbes on bulls. Shards makes these guys quite easy. Shards peirces armor, so the shielded Hobbes that ride on bulls can't block it. Aftertouch also splits Shards up, allowing it to hit multiple targets, another great feature for killing these guys. Whatever your method, hack away until the Hobbes learn their lesson and retreat. After the attacking Hobbes leave, new ones show up dumping lava onto the ground. Lava burns quite a bit, so for the next minute the player must dodge Seren around the streams of lava left behind. This can be tricky since the Hobbes are so close, so be cautious and ready for sharp turns.

Exiting from the tunnel, there is a rest stop the player can heal Seren at. Leaving the stop, the player will travel down the road for a minute, then reach Honeyholm Farm. Unfortunately for the group, it is now overrun by Stingers. Start smashing them from the sky, and you will encounter the new, tougher Elite Stinger.

These Elite Stingers have more health, but shouldn't pose any sort of an issue. Hit them a few times, or yank them towards the ground to kill them quickly. After clearing out the first group, Gabriel will make his way slowly through the city, and the player will be tasked with clearing out the rest of the Stingers. Occasionally some Hobbes will pop up, and a large Hobbe is blocking the exit, but they won't be a match for Shards.

After leaving town, the player will continue down the road with little interuption. A short time in however, there is an optional stop. Make sure not to pass it, as there is a chest guarded by some enemies, and within it is the Chess Set Collectable.
